Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

In addition to changed monetary compensation, land back and other educational and training opportunities should be available.

I am chinese, I believe they don't deserve a penny and should live as a average human by making their own money.

It all depends what more comes out in regards to the Residential Schools and any other agreements that have not been honored. I have never been more embarrassed to be Canadian and our Prime Minister, as well as the historical handling of aboriginal affairs and deals is the reason for it

Yes, but the aboriginal system is in need of deep reforms. Blank cheques and the status quo will not do. Aboriginal services should be harmonized with comparable provincial services and oversight should be mandatory.

I believe that Aboriginals should be respected and looked to for guidance, for the most part, canada is a country of immigrants, the only people who are traditional Canadians are the Aboriginal peoples

No, not personally. Funds should instead go to each reserve community to improve incatructure and ensure clean drinking water and reasonable food prices.

I think Aboriginals should receive more government funding. One of the reasons would be the really bad water system they have. They should have more funds to build better hospitals, schools, community centers, elderly homes, and build a better life in general.

I feel that the current spending on Canadian Aboriginals is a good amount and can increase a little more, but also allow them to have the option to integrate freely within society however they please.

i believe if they are using the funds to grow their tribe economically then yes but if they are abusing this privilege then no

Indigenous nations should receive compensation from the government so that they can adequately govern their own nation. The amount of funds that the nation is to receive should be between the government and the elders of the nation.

Due to the history of colonization, many Indigenous people have mental health issues, addiction issues, and there is a lot of unemployment, and physical health issues (diabetes). I have gone on the reserves and the situation is horrid. These things need to be addressed instead of just throwing money like it's gonna solve everything. The government should also give them their land back and invest in programs where Indigenous people can learn and return to their ancestral culture.

I think that aboriginals should be allowed to exist somewhat separate from the rest of society, not needing to worry about funds and living as they see fit. If any of them wish to integrate into society they should feel free too,

I do not believe the reservations are working to serve the aboriginal population in a positive way

their goofy ahhs already get too much money and live for free They make fun of immigrants and are fully funded by the goverment they shouldn't have to get money from my l loser guy Trudeau

Yes , but put it into help with education and social program

I am satisfied with the amount of spending.

No, I’m an aboriginal & my band (wabaseemoong) doesn’t do payouts, they just keep all the money & ask for more.. can’t even fix the water problem even after all the help..

Yes, and fresh drinking water and more funding. And give their land bank

Maybe. Not enough information.

DOesnt matter

No, we should help them obtain more independence, self reliance and self governance

Yes, used to help bring up the standard of living and help their communities but also have a long term phasing out plan to allow them to function without assistance.

I think it should stay the same but give them more job opportunities and clean water

No, but I think that repairing the Relationship between Aboriginals and the Canadian Government is an important issue. Though I think giving out free money promotes laziness within communities

The government does give them money but the chiefs mis use it

Will I think both side’s should be audited like the Canadian government and the aboriginals, and we should offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs.

They should be given back what is there’s like land ect

A plan of self sustainability for the Aboriginal community

Instead of giving them money we should make their living good and strong and good for people

No, but their leaders need to be accountable to their constituents for their spending.

Yes, The treaties need to be honoured and promises need to be kept up to todays standard of living rather than what is literally on the treaty.

Set up a Reservation System like in the United States

I think we should be seeking for indigenous self-government.

The status Indians have received enough. It’s the Metis’ turn!

it is not funding. It is money from the original treaties which the government ignores

Yes, but only more to necessities like water

why are we using taxpayer money on people who are going to use it on something like a toy why dont we use it on military funding

i think it should stay as it is.

This question is the problem. It's their money they are fighting for not our taxes.

Not money but programs and services run by the indigenous community themselves

Yes, but in other forms than monetary... something that will integrate all cultures together...

yes and make the reserves a liveable as any other community in Canada

Yes along with education, training, and social programs, and the money should be given directly to each person, not through the leader of their tribe.

No, But they should be helped to be pushed to be self sustaining and sustainable

No, they should be treated as any other person of society

We should be more willing to keep the treaty agreements that we made.

I think they shoud be self sufficient, especially because most of them don't consider themselves Canadian

A thorough understanding of what they need to heal from the generational trauma inflicted by the government. Healing not handouts. Empowerment

Only is they're poor

No. Greater oversight and control on how the current amount is used should be put in place. No Chief should earn more than the PM through this method.

Just like for the rest of society, there should be some safety nets, not hammocks. But over a short period of time they need to be integrated with the rest of functioning society.

This is a question more fit for an someone of aboriginal descent. Other races should not meddle with issues and let aboriginals decide on whether they recieve more funds or not. It’s not our issue.

No, they are being given enough. Right now, the Canadian government is giving away millions, even possibly billions to first nations and thing is, the Europeans and tons of other countries before just wiped other tribes and nations off of the face of the earth which the first nations were lucky that it did not happen to them. I think that we should be treated equally.

I think they should get what’s theirs

They should get some funds but also get jobs

no, they should recieve less funding and also have harsh penalties for those who abuse such funds

yes but they y need to not rise it too much

The government should stop interacting the only things the government have done have hurt them.

yes they shjould get a little more money and more land back

they should keep receiving them but have it stay the same amount of money

Yes, compensate for hardship if they ask for it, but let them be and live their lives as normal citizens, and to pursue their own destiny

They should receive just as much funding as anyone, we are all Canadian citizens.

If they live on a reserve or are a active part of the community then they should receive funding. However if they live in a populated area example Toronto and don't go to events then I don't agree that they should get funding
